Just in case someone says "Toyota?" at you when you mention S2000 :

Heard mention of it on the tannoy as Higgins was interviewed at the Scottish Motorsport Show yesterday and thought I was hearing things.

Those were nice cars.

The FIA have introduced a class called "Super 2000" for 2007. I think it's to do with the production class - Group N? Peogeot & Toyota have so far produced cars for that classification.

Only one ever made and they basically just lopped the roof off and covered over the mess with fake leather.

But I liked it too.
